What size wire do you use to install a 40 amp breaker for a 2amp pool pump?
I think you mean 2 HP pump. I am assuming a 220 To 240 volt supply and that should equate to about a 12 amp current. All my pumps use only a 30 amp breaker and 10 AWG wire.
What gauge underground wire for 110 volt 15 amp 700 ft for a pond pump?
A #1 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% when supplying 15 amps for 700 feet on a 120 volt system.
Describe why variable speed compressor motors are more efficient than single speed motors in heat pump systems?
This type of compressor uses a special drive to control The speed of the unit. Also, saves more energy than a fixed speed equivalent.
Any advantages in wiring a single speed pool pump 230V vs 115V electrician says cheaper to wire 115V?
Your electrician is correct on this. However, the pump is designed for 230V and will use less electricity, thus saving money if wired for 230V. Yeah, if you have to rewire for 230 V then it would be more expensive until your savings had consumed or offset the expense.
Why do you connect capacitor in MAX232?
The input to the max232 ic will be of Transistor Transistor Logic (TTL) and its voltage range will be of 5 volt. The output of the max 232 ic will be of Recomended Standard 232 Logic (RS232 logic) and its voltage range will be of 12 volt. The max 232 ic which is operating on 5 volt supply has to step up the 5 volt input to 12 volt. Hence a capacitor is used for pumping the voltage and called as pumping capacitor.
Can you hook up two pool filters back-to-back to increase efficiency?
Wouldn't it be better to simply buy ONE more efficient pump rather than having two? My neighbor does have one pump for the automatic vacuum and one pump for general filtering. He did, however, have these put in when the pool was installed.
Can you use a 240 volt pool pump on normal house power?
Most typical US residences have both 240 and 120 AC voltage. The pump would have to tie into a 240 volt breaker in your electric panel. To ensure safety have an electrician familiar with pool installations install the wiring and motor/pump and also make sure that the breaker is sized for the motor amperage rating. In many pool installations a separate electric panel will be installed outside near the pump and any pool electric devices.
Would 12 volt air compressor blow up a paddling pool?
Yes, a 12 volt air compressor pump can safely pump up a large paddling pool. You can buy it online in stores like eBay or Amazon. You can also read reviews of other customers in order to purchase the right type of model.
How do venturi pool cleaners work?
The venturi pool cleaner is more efficient in how it works. It pulls in as much water as the pump and doesn't increase energy costs. It works by pulling the water and debris through a filter like a normal system.
Which pump is more efficient Centrifugal pump or reciprocating pump?
positive displacement pumps will always be more efficient than centrifugal pumps due to a centrifugals inherent internal fluid slip recirculation and losses.

Why did Chrysler put the fuel pump in the gas tank?
Electric pumps are more efficient pushing versus pulling and the fuel cools the pump.Electric pumps are more efficient pushing versus pulling and the fuel cools the pump.
How big of a heat pump do I need?
Actual size will depend on the actual size of your pool. Checking into your pools specification would provide a great deal of insight. However, the larger heaters will provide your pool a way of heating faster and in a more cost efficient matter.
How far can I put a pool pump from the pool?
The distance between a pool pump and pool depends on factors such as the pump's power and the length and type of piping being used. However, a common guideline is to place the pump within 3-4 feet of the pool for optimal performance. This ensures efficient circulation and reduces the risk of losing suction or encountering other operational issues.
Will an inverter operate a sump pump?
Yes it is possible to use an inverter to run a sump pump. However it is a good solution because 120 volt pumps are very inefficient and your battery will soon be exhausted. A far better idea is to invest in a backup system with the most efficient 12 volt pump such as those from NexPump. These will pump up to 4 times as much water using the same battery.
Pump 120 volt comsume more than pump at240 volts?
Not necessarily it all depends on how many amps it draws.
How many amps does a Hayward 1 Hp Pool Pump Motor use?
1 HP = 745.70 wattsPower (watts) = Current (amps) x VoltsSo if you use a 110 volt system, amps = 745.7/110 = 6.779 ampsIf you use a 220 volt system, amps = 745.7/220 = 3.389 ampsFor a 12 volt system, amps = 745.7/12 = 62.142 amps
